The country is also obese and it’s all do to poor education.

Does one need a PHD in order to know what to eat and learn about the benefits of exercise?

It does exist for some. If a young single woman gets pregnant (at least in NJ) she and her child will absolutely get everything for free.

Life of luxury and ease!!!

Did I claim anywhere that is a life of luxury? Did I misrepresent any facts? Regarding what type of life people find easy can vary from person to person.

They absolutely get everything for free!

Which is true.

Food, housing, utilities, healthcare, job assistance and cash and the only thing she contributes to society is more mouths for the rest of us to feed.

Dog crap.

No. It really wasn’t, at least not until LucyLou’s comment.
The statement was that they would get free supplies. That this would be more than subsistence was neither stated nor implied.

She and her child will get “absolutely everything for free”.

Now come on. Clearly you were supposed to take that figuratively, not literally.

How many people with PHD’s are on Statin?

Weedhopper · 2019-12-29T15:58:48.004Z

If any body followed the food pyramid from the 70’s they probably have love handals and are on Statin.

Yachts, mansions, sports cars…you actually thought that’s what he meant?

Why are you making things up and ascribing it to me. I am taking HIS words at face value. He said a single pregnant woman will get everything free and that is patently a lie. Fake News.

Most people today under about 35 will go into withdrawal with actual withdrawal symptoms if you unplug them from all of their electronic devices for even a few hours.

Thank you for the entertainment. Seriously.

But I must ask, do you really know anyone under 35?

Of course, they are simply getting back the school taxes they’ve paid in over the years and will continue to pay through their lives to use as they see fit for their children’s education.

In many other countries, there are no private k-12 schools. All kids, no matter their economic status, gets a good, education. And the wealthy kids, interact with the not so wealthy, and even poor kids.

Applying capitalism to education, especially for k-12 education, can be counter productive for the health of a society.

If one eats poorly, exercise does not do much to lose weight, or remain at a healthy weight.

Unless one is working out pretty hard, 2-4 hours a day.

Why is it you folks claim to be “pro choice” while being hell bent on denying so many of us any choice at all in so many areas?

Well, that misses the point entirely. Hint: if Gooddad believes that his example of school subsidy does little more than raise tuitions (and I agree with him, for perhaps the first time), then it follows that the so-called school choice vouchers would do so as well.

We’ll ignore how you’re missing the fact that people without children aren’t getting this tax rebate, despite the fact that they also pay school taxes.

Not all.
A lack of physical activity. As a kid we were always playing baseball, climbing trees or running around the neighborhood. Too many kids are shutting themselves in, addicted to their gadgets.

But the kids today have very strong thumbs.

And by the eighties it had been altered for the first time since the 40’s when cardiac research showed we needed to eat more fruits and veggies and lean meats and poultry rather than fatty meats.

I actually didn’t even realize I worded it that way:blush:. “Everything that they need” was my intent.
